Asystec, an Irish data management solutions company, has announced the creation of 50 jobs at its new facilities in Ballincollig, Cork.

The announcement was made by Minister Dara Murphy TD at the official opening of the new Asystec Cork offices.

“To meet the growing demand for our services, we have had to scale up teams in our offices across Ireland and the UK. The announcement of the 50 new highly-skilled jobs today is a reflection of our absolute focus, international customer wins and increasing market demand,” Byrne continued.

The new roles will be created in analytics, data centre and IT security and governance, and will predominantly be senior sales and technical roles.
